Formal Resolutions

If the grievance is not resolved informally, the grievant should request a formal resolution by filling a formal grievance. The formal grievance procedure begins with the student's preparation of a written statement of the grievance. This written grievance is lodged in the Vice President's office overseeing that area. This written grievance must be lodged no more than thirty (30) working days of any occurrence giving rise to the grievance. The student will present a written statement that clearly describes the issue(s) grieved and resolution that student wishes to occur. The written statement will describe the facts and evidence supporting the alleged violation and provide a brief history of the attempts to resolve the grievance. The Vice President receiving the written grievance will provide all the parties involved with a copy of this record and begin the resolution by scheduling a Level I meeting for the parties involved.
